Rotary International's Four-Way Test for Communications
I am just as discussed as others who have indicated that they are tired of the negativity and name-calling that has permeated the board for many, many
months.
The ?Four-Way Test? is a standard of communication embodied by Rotary International, an organization beyond
reproach. Rotary has been accepted world-wide and there are chapters in most Baja cities.
I challenge all to hold your communications to these simple standards.
The Four-way Test of Rotary International
Of all the things we think, say or do.
First.... Is it the truth? ( not rumor, not "opinion")
Second.... Is it fair to all concerned?
Third.... Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Fourth.... Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
For further clarification, may I humbly suggest that the words ?P-nche gringo, chicken coop group, knucklehead, Pathetomads, etc. fail the
Four Way Test on every count.....miserabley.
I hope this suggestion is of value.

Four-Way
Wow, JR must have gotten in a really low shot that time.
Anyway, as far as the test goes: If you adher to Item One, there is no need to be concerned with Two, Three or Four. The truth is ALWAYS fair and
beneficial to all parties.
Just what is it that Rotary does, anyway ? Is it like the Elks, Moose or those other animal clubs ? Sponsoring civic events now and then, putting
out flags and doing a whole lot of drinking ? I guess it's apparent that I don't get involved in civic affairs.

I think that if you don't want peoples opinions then your on the wrong forum. I think that is one thing that I enjoy most here is hearing the opinions
of all the people. and rule # 1 says that is wrong.
